EGG-HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming'part of Letters iatent No. 739,488, dated September 22, 1903 I Application filed June 16, 1900. Serial No. 20,568. (No model.) i I To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, LOUIS M. GALATIUS and NEWBUBY R. MINOR, citizens of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Egg-Beater, of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to egg-heaters The object of theinvention is to provide a novel construction and combination of parts of an egg-beater, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts, there is illustrated one form of embodiment of the invention capable of carry ing the same into practical operation, it being understood that the elements therein ex hibited may be varied or changed as to shape, proportion, and exact manner of assemblage without departing from the spirit thereof.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the improved egg-beater. Fig. 2 is aview in transverse section. Fig.3 is a view in end elevation, looking toward the end of the blade.

Referring. to the drawings, 1 designates a,

flat flexible steel blade, similar to and of the thickness of an ordinary table-knife and provided with a rounded point, the edge 2 of the blade being sharpened and the back 3 being blunt, as usual, as clearly shown in Fig. 2.

The blade is fitted in a handle 4, provided with a metal ferrule 5 for the well-known purpose. The free extremity of the blade is provided with a plurality of openings 6, one of which is disposed within the rounded end of the blade, thereby to cause the device-when ,in'use to be thoroughly effective for beating the egg close to the bottom of the dish. By the manner of disposing the openings within the blade the greatest agitation, and thus mixing of the egg, will be efiected, the flat surfaces between the openings operating in conjunction therewith to break up and cause rapid mixing of the yolk and white. As before stated, the blade is flexible and sharp on one edge, so that after an egg is beaten the device may be used to scrape the inside of the :dish, and thus effect removal of all of the beaten egg.

While the device of this invention is exceedingly simple of construction, it will be found thoroughly efficient and durable in use forv the purposes specifiedand may be manufactured and sold at a price readily to place it within the means of persons desiring such a utensil.

. Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A case-knife having ablade with a rounded end,said blade being provided with a plurality of transverse perforations one of which is located at the said rounded end of the blade, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereto afiixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses;
